French president delivers veiled warning to Beijing during speech in Singapore.

French President Emmanuel Macron warned China that NATO could become more deeply involved in Asia if Beijing does not do more to stop North Korea from taking part in Russia’s war on Ukraine.

“North Korea in Ukraine is a big question for all of us. If China doesn’t want NATO to be involved in Southeast Asia, it should prevent [North Korea] from being engaged on European soil,” Macron said Friday during an address at a major defense summit in Singapore.

      What kind of idiot would underestimate France. They’re a nuclear power, hold a permanent seat on the Security Council, and brought us democracy as we know it.
